The two populations appear too distinct to be considered as one species: In the Texas specimens, aedeagi have parameres more broad with sides gradually curved from base to apex; body surfaces have noticeably more conspicuous setae, and antennae are consistently longer, than in Florida specimens. The latter have parameres narrow, with sides parallel in the basal 3/4ths, and the general body outline is relatively more parallel­sided than the elongate­oval form of the Texas specimens. Therefore, while the two taxa may be part of a large circum­caribbean complex,
